The Masterclass of Happiness is a totally unique four-day experience in the middle of the most beautiful Finnish summer. The location is carefully selected to cater to all your needs on our quest for Finnish happiness. Kuru Resort is a private retreat centre located in the Finnish Lakeland region. At Kuru, you will be accommodated in an exclusive private villa.

During the four days, you’ll get introduced to your inner Finn and start to build a set of skills that help you sustain a balanced lifestyle in connection with nature.
 
You will be learning about themes such as nature crafts, food for the soul and body, exercise in forests and lakes, calming sounds and music and the Finnish way of life in general. All this takes place in exclusive sessions with Finnish experts working as your personal coaches. 

You will find thousands of reasons (and lakes) to fall in love with Finland – whether it’s the people, stunning nature or spectacular architecture. And just when you think you’ve seen and experienced it all, Finland’s four distinct seasons will beckon you back for more.

Here, you’re never more than a short walk from nature. Whether you want to wind down in lush forests, adventure in the Arctic wilderness or relax on the open coast, Finland has plenty of space for everyone. Plus, the flora and fauna are like nowhere else on Earth – especially when you experience it under the mystical Midnight Sun.

Finland’s four regions all have their own unique personality, and each season brings something new to the experience.
